Funded by EXDCI-2, EPCC is organising a 2-day workshop in Edinburgh on 8-9 July 2019 to present ideas on how science and engineering can be supported from Raspberry Pis to large scale supercomputers. We are looking to investigate how to introduce these topics to school-age audiences including linking to existing school curricula. This will include examples of existing education materials and activities and looking ahead to current plans.

Thank you to everyone who submitted images and videos to this year's competition. The outstanding range of entries made judging a most enjoyable experience with so many great demonstrations of the important work being done using ARCHER.

We are pleased to announce the ARCHER Image and Video Competition 2018, and we invite all users of the national supercomputing service to share their images and videos on the theme of "ARCHER Enabling Research".

We are pleased to announce the ARCHER Image and Video Competition 2017, and we invite all users of the national supercomputing service to share their images and videos on the theme of "ARCHER Enabling Research".

We are delighted to announce the winner of the ARCHER Image Competition 2016 is Dr Peter Falkingham, Natural Sciences & Psychology Department, Liverpool John Moores University for his image "The birth of a footprint".

The image was selected by the judges for its easily accessible scientific concepts represented by a clear and visually dramatic image.

Proof that whilst EPCC may be one of the nerdiest enclaves in the University, we sure aren't all couch potatoes.

When local cycle campaign group Spokes released their latest edition of the Edinburgh Pedestrian and Cycling Route map, several of us agreed it would be an excellent idea to have a copy on the coffee room wall, to help plan trips around town and encourage new cyclists, or help current cyclists explore new areas.
